I'm lucky that I have the support system that I do have. But sometimes these same support system mentally get me down when I try to explain my condition. I'm trying hard to get to where I wanna be and it will take me longer than others.

Winter @wpoliticss.bsky.social · 8h

I have dreams, aspirations that are far from my reach.

But those dreams keep me going, I want to work to change the system, work for nonprofits, work in a politicians office, be a voice for those who struggle as well.

I won't stop until I get there.

As someone who suffers with panic disorder, anxiety, and DPDR and feelings of unrealness. It can be dangerous for me to drive at times, or work depending on the situation.

When you have people who don't understand in your ear telling you that you're not good enough. It makes me depressed.

Society tells me that unless I have a physical disability I should be working, but when it's mental health I get told to just suck it up because that's the world we live in.

In reality we shouldn't settle for the world we live in, the system is stacked against so many different communities.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

The judges handling the Trump appeal in the ninth circuit.

1. Susan Garber appointed by Bill Clinton.
2. Nelson appointed by Trump.
3. Bade appointed by Trump.

Oregon could be fucked tomorrow. We will see.

There is absolutely no reason for Trump to use the Insurrection Act.

I was wondering how Tina Kotek would handle this business and I admit I was not expecting it to be deftly dispatched so cleanly

If you'd told me last year that the most successful governors in confronting 45 would be Hochul and Tina fucking Kotek, I would've told you to get help.

Senator Jeff Merkley says what we all are thinking.

He says that the federal Government is faking a riot so that Trump can invoke the insurrection act or worse martial Law.

Against the feds which is up for an appeal on Thursday. Until then, Tina is in control.

Winter @wpoliticss.bsky.social · 4d

Tina Kotek confronted Kristi Noem herself in person at the ICE facility in Portland and brought with her the Portland chief of police.

Who both told her that people have a right to demonstrate and the fact that the feds were present made things worse.

Oregon currently has a restraining order,

Yes Chicago I'm just talking Oregon. The federal judge only blocked Oregon.
